Track:
I remember a few months ago I was over at "Tak's":http://mog.com/Takeshi_Kovacs place, playing guitar with he and "boozelegs":http://mog.com/boozelegs. We were playing a wide variety of stuff (from AC/DC to R.E.M.) and listening to some CDs I had brought over for Tak to borrow.That's when I put in
Wither, Blister, Burn + Peel. Tak was floored. I don't know which emotion was stronger - his love for the music or the disappoinment for having not heard it until that point.See what you may not have read into his posts is that Tak missed the 90s. Or at least, he missed the American 90s and a lot of the good (but not great) music played here that didn't make the trans-Atlantic hop to his fatherland (Das ist gut).Tak can chime in with his personal feelings on the topic, but I really enjoy WBB+P. Stabbing Westward is a little darker than my usual tastes for music, but WBB+P is well worth the exception. Most folks are familiar with the two radio singles -
What Do I Have To Do and
Shame, but this album is so much more than that.Imagine the sobering emotions that flow after you've torn your voice through disappointment. And that's just a couple of tracks."You told me That you loved me You swore That you loved me And I believed...Now I know it was a lie..." -
I Don't Believe, Track 1"It's so wrong that I need you It's so wrong that I need abuse It's so wrong that I need you So wrong that I'm scared I'll die alone" -
So Wrong, Track 7So if you missed the 90s and wonder what happened,
Wither, Blister, Burn + Peel is an album I highly recommend (unless you're afraid of rock'n'roll :wink:)--Torch
